Code that we’ll be working with

• CS16 final exam solutions (from last lecture)
• Buggy student code

Last lecture, we talked about how to debug using print statements Today, I’ll demo two new debugging tools: gdb and valgrind. We’ll do some exploration with these tools and talk about how a combination of drawing memory diagrams and gdb can help us find bugs in code.

• GDB cheatsheet
• Valgrind quick start guide
